Check Point Research Discovers New NFT Airdrop Campaign

The Rise of an Extensive NFT Scam Campaign

A recent investigation conducted by Check Point Research has uncovered a sophisticated NFT scam campaign that is operating on a large scale. This campaign is unique in its methodology, employing a source spoofing technique to target a broad spectrum of token holders. It specifically focuses on more than 100 highly popular projects, aiming its attacks at token holders. The scammers lack direct access to the email addresses of token holders, so they have devised an alternative method of reaching out to specific token holders through NFT airdrops linked to a specially crafted website for each targeted token. This approach gives the transactions an appearance of legitimacy, seemingly originating from trusted sources.
